@@ItsAutoTVsounds awesome! Even though I always like playing druid. I have to admit just yesterday I really felt the struggle between, getting movement speed and range on attacks. Honestly openPVP wise I'm not sure which one to pick rn. Movementspeed is nice, but I can't get point s into Power Shapeshifter to really benefit from it in a fight with kiting. And I can't go full boomy tree because I lack the travel form. Its a bummer 😅
@@TheAWSMPrinceBashd yeah for pure damage and turreting in bgs then boomie spec is good. For everything else though the speed is really nice. Mana is tight when it comes to shifting a lot but its still super strong.
Usually a boomy main, changed to feral at lvl 22.... raided since then as feral. Boomy is just my thing.. had to make the change back today. lol. Looking forward to more content.
Same here, forced into feral because starsurge did 20 dmg. made me very depressed. By the time they buffed it I was already full feral gear and everything. :(
Pretty convenient your speed spec is my exact talent choice, I’ve been running life bloom and finally decided to get starsurge last night and lo and behold this guide pops up on my UA-cam feed. 😂
/salute For Canticle of Sacrifice OST near the end, but thanks for all the great info I always struggled with deciding on Eagle gear vs Astral power gear
Very good video. Thank you for realizing (unlike some other people) that Tailoring is extremely powerful atm for Balance spec because of the Spidersilk Boots.
Thanks for this video! Please, make some more content for (new) druid players. I would like to know more about keybindings, rotation, tactics, when to change to bear, when change to cat and what abilities do i use in every particular form. Im new to druid and it is really hard to learn. For example: how do you manage/setup your action bar 1, which changes every time you change your form?
It seems like these builds would heal well in PvE content as well in a pinch. Missing out on Imp Motw and .5 seconds HT casts doesnt seem like a deal breaker.
I have fully healed a raid to great success with just the wild growth rune instead of sunfire. You're able to output some great damage as well with just wrath and starsurge.
What do you think of phase 2 would be great to see. So far I’ve played feral 99% bid just need the hammer. I found that feral is bad in pvp compared to balance. As balance with decent gear I can fight way more people than as feral. Long story short if I’m super into pvp do you think Balance will still be the way to go in phase 2
It depends on if starsurge will see nerfs or not. If it remains as is then boomie will just scale really well with 100% crit damage and 10% flat talents and boomie form that makes you super tanky as well. If they add runes like cyclone then balance will just be busted bonkers OP.
Would you be so kind and share the Weakaura, that Shows the Moonfire, Sunfire and Starsurge Icons in the middle of your Screen. That would be awesome :)
Some people are running nature resist on their pets which can be frustrating. Using the wsg trinket may help a small amount and any hit% gear you have. Besides that though it is fairly RNG.
I am doing something very strange on my druid 😅 I am feral have the feral mace and all feral gear but have 3 set boomie gear from bfd the chest head and feet. And some int on rings being alliance I get some nice rings with lots of stats. And I can just attack in cat then starsurge and have the best of both you can use fury of stomrage still doing this and it's strong especially in open world I just del casters.
Dude, I have done so many raids. I have 8 different 25s and I have only seen the staff drop once. The staff once, the xbow 4 times and the sword 6 times. I thought the sword would be the rarest. But its not. Druid pvp is really fun. I just got him to sergeant but I am going to be doing some pvp here in the next few days. I got enough gear that my casting gear is just as good if not better then my feral set. I just got the legs tonight.
Yeah luckily leather spellpower gear is basically free to get. The staff seems to be dropping more for me personally these past few weeks but I was lucky and got it fairly early on.
@@simz3192 Yeah you can. Just get another pair of the toughened leather gloves. Go back in BFD.. dive in the pool. Loot the box, go back and break it. Make the other pair of gloves. I have both pair on my druid.
just moonfire dot, starsurge and kite. wildgrowth and rejuve pre emptively so you stay topped at all times and you win pretty much most 1v1s except healers. healers + locks need you to spam wrath (and maybe use sunfire even) to out dps their healing.
Where would you say yhe "balance" point is on the stats? Theoretically I could buy all BOE's with arcane spell power but then my hp would be like 650. Would you recommend prioritization to that extreme?
Its pretty much up to personal preference, sometimes it can be fun to juice out on spellpower and deal a ton of damage but outside of raid gear you won't be getting much stam with spellpower. For general purpose maybe just find a good mix of eagle gear and spellpower until you can get some raid gear.
Bro i enjoy the knowledge , could u also make a vid or just say how do you play specifically vs another balance druid , ofc both use starsurge and wrath to preserve mana but do u use wild growth or dots ( they are expensive ) or how do u like to get on top of a mirror if it happens , do you even try to outheal cuz if i start doing this i will lose on mana i think. Is it dps as much and just a hot myself and never stop casting on him ?
rejuvenation is really efficient healing for the cost but wildgrowth lets you survive the burst. the best thing would probably be having 5/5 imp wrath and spamming free wraths and starsurge and using wildgrowth to survive. Im fairly certain you outlive their damage and if they use sunfire I dont think they can outheal your damage. it can be pretty RNG though with fury procs for instant heals and lucky starsurge crits. I might make a video going over 1v1ing different classes but it may not be perfect since some players are much better than others. :)
my starsurge does +- 320 unbuff , 480 + crit , you dont have enough damages to burst like a rogue or hunter , intell or stam is useless when you can 2 shot people and more when you have wild growth ( Koush - Living Flame )
there is enough burst to kill hunters and roguse with sunfire, starsurge and moonfire max rank then moonfire 1 rank lower spam into starsurge off cooldown, but you can out heal their burst with wildgrowth and rejuv, especially when you have the survival of the fittest rune. Really depends on your gear and playstyle. I have 1163 hp with 106 arcane sp and 87 sp all around and use that with sunfire or wild growth depending on the situation. In World pvp wild growth is better, but in BG and duels Sunfire tends to be better. Depending on the classes you fight it changes which is more effective. Agaisnt priest, rogues and pallies Wild Growth is a must. Against Mages, Warlocks and Hunters both works, sunfire tends to be more effective for me, depends on your playstyle. Against Warriors and Shammies Sunfire is great and they cant really do anything much this phase to warrant wild growth usage.
Great video on balance. Very helpful! If anyone is interested in a flag carry spec and gearing. Go stam/int gear. Get swiftness and feral charge,… if you wanna play like this: Season of Discovery - Druid Flag Carrier - Warsong Gulch - QuickRick ua-cam.com/video/Wd-DtBtnWXQ/v-deo.html
you should do a big numbers pvp comp with world pvp included. Obviously you're not a FC main but you parse like trump polls. Stick to your guns and hopefully you can dethrone that annoying fk sarthe as top streamer
Just started my sod druid and enjoy this vids in the background
Flagcarry guide would be AMAZING. Thanks for the good structured guide!
Chances are Ill have one at least by start of next phase when we unlock most of our toolkit!

I'll definitely make one of these. Might be for the start of next phase though so we have some more tools to discuss!
I'm looking forward to this one, just respec from resto to balance for leveling to 40 xD
It should be noted hibernate can be used on ghostwolf.

Hi ItsAuto. Would you also be willing to share your Weak Auras for sunfire and moonfire? I really like what you have set up. Thank you. Great videos!

Having some real issues with hunter pets resisting my hibernate .. twice in a row sometimes!

I like your eyebrows
Great video! Can you please share your weak auras for timers on dots and skills? Thank you
wago.io/axVGiIfEm this is the weakura I made and am currently using.
@@ItsAutoTV Thank you! Very much appreciated!!!
Hibernate work on Shaman when they are in travel form to
Thats true! Shaman carriers are insanely tanky right now,
Does these build could be able to be good a pve also?
I have a balance pve guide on my channel as well!

I already made Epic Gloves since I am a feral main. However if you don’t have epic boots is it just worth using the 3 set?
yeah its alright to use them, the hit is not bad. the murloc kneehide boots are also a good alternative.
Did you make both epic gloves?
@@ronhightower3771 wait can you make both?
@@ronhightower3771 how do I get an extra void shard?
@@simz3192 Yeah you can. Just get another pair of the toughened leather gloves. Go back in BFD.. dive in the pool. Loot the box, go back and break it. Make the other pair of gloves. I have both pair on my druid.
What's your typical rotation when fighting 1v1 in world pvp?
just moonfire dot, starsurge and kite. wildgrowth and rejuve pre emptively so you stay topped at all times and you win pretty much most 1v1s except healers. healers + locks need you to spam wrath (and maybe use sunfire even) to out dps their healing.

Really have mana issues with shape shifting.... makes the core of druids play style quite disappointing
yeah its just the early phase of druid, picking up natural shapeshifter when we have more talents later on will be nice though.
Mix up your gear. Grab some Eagle gear for some int.
Enchant that staff bro :) gz

why when you have starsurge

haha Im almost fully bis geared so might see if I can put together a compilation before next phase!
A guild ???? lmao .. talk talk daft you have 3 instant spell that are stupidly OP right now, a monkey can 3vs1 as boomkin
What class are you?
